The National Security Agency was started in the effort to confront problems that the U.S. might face, and eliminate those problems before they ever made it to the light of day.

The National Security Agency, better known as the NSA, has always been a vital asset for the United States. Ever since its inception in 1962 by then-President, Harry S. Truman, for the sake of deciphering messages sent between Germany and Japan, the role of the NSA has been to gather information on the United State's adversaries as well as protect information of its citizens such as credit information from theft.

Definitions of “national security” are contentious due their subjective nature. This report will briefly explain traditional definitions of “national security” before providing a definition specific to Australia.

The traditional definition of “national security” is militaristic and focuses on political independence and territorial integrity (Baldwin, 1997, p9), however this definition
United States constitutes a national security threat is determining what constitutes national security. Terms such as “national interest” and “national security” do not have a universally agreed-upon meaning. The term “security” covers a range of goals so wide that highly divergent policies can be interpreted as politics of security.

A key point that I took away from this video is with the Presidents opening statement, “In a few minutes, I will sign into law the most dramatic reform of our nation's intelligence capabilities since President Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947. “ The reason that I feel that this statement is so profound is that it took a stateside terrorist attack to realize that there was a discrepancy with the way that the intelligence community operated. In these times many can not

One of these security agencies is the National Security Agency, or NSA. “By 2008, the NSA had become the largest, most costly, and most technologically sophisticated spy organization the world has ever known” (Bamford 1).

According to Snow “The Cold War presented the United States an apparently permanent military enemy for the first time since the rivalry with Great Britain was resolved after the war of 1812.” (Snow, page 83) This gave way to the idea of national security being a strong focal point of the American agenda.

The National Security Agency or NSA for short is a United States federal government intelligence organization that is used for global monitoring and collecting data. After the attacks on September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush implemented the NSA’s domestic spying program to conduct a range of surveillance activities inside the United States. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding this program as it allows the NSA to tap into the public’s phone calls, cameras, internet searches, text

In every country the needed to protect its citizens is the same. In some nations, security is a higher priority which causes sacrifices to be made to obtain an indefinite protection against all rivals.

Privacy versus national security has multiple differences and similarities. It’s been a discussion amongst people for decades. But has recently grown popularity on the discussion board over the topic of one of the most well-known technology brands that I’m sure most us know called “Apple”.
